The aim of the technology assessment is to determine the risk as early as possible before any decision making in technology purchased is made. Despite the technology assessment basic concept evolution, technology assessment can be applied in various sectors but it is most prevalent in the health, environmental if compared to the defense sector. This is because the defense sector is a country specific whereby security is the main concern of a nation and the information regarding the technology assessments practices are not publish for public knowledge. The purpose of the study was to investigate the extent of STRIDE technology assessment roles in assisting defense ministry in relation to technology acquisition decisions. This study employs case study approach to acquire in depth information on the STRIDE roles in technology assessment using a structured interview to collect the data. The findings indicated that the scope of assessment done was more on development aspect. In addition, STRIDE employed two types of methodologies in determining the priority areas in R&D; brainstorming and Delphi analysis. The implication of the finding would provide clear definitions, scope and guidelines for future technology assessment task.","PeriodicalId":168329,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '08 - 2008 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"503 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122418315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study deals with two integrated questions: do CTO roles affect firmpsilas performance and which factors enhance the effectiveness of CTO roles? Based on a survey of 49 electronic and machinery firms in Turkey, the study finds that even though the CTO position does not prevail, CTO roles are performed in varying degrees. The findings confirm the upper-echelon theory that performing decisional CTO roles increases profitability of firms and the educational background of a manager carrying out CTO roles strengthens this positive impact. Further, the study clearly shows the role of social capital theory in explaining how the effectiveness of a CTO increases when he/she is embedded in the top management relations. The hierarchical level of a CTO thus directly increases the impact of both decisional and informational roles on performance. The informational roles of a CTO result in a positive impact on profitability when a CTO has frequent communication with a CEO. In other words, the higher the extent of networking, the higher profits achieved from the realization of informational roles. As a final observation, the size of the company affects profitability, the bigger the firm the better the performance.","PeriodicalId":168329,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '08 - 2008 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128424327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many social psychological studies have pointed out that intrinsic motivation is heightened through enhancing individual autonomy. However, managing individual autonomy in a work situation has not yet been adequately addressed nor discussed in detail. In this research, we investigated how to improve individual autonomy focusing on NPD personnel, such as those in design, development, manufacturing and quality-control, as well as in marketing departments. From questionnaire data collected from 242 NPD members within a Japanese industrial machine manufacturing company, we quantitatively analyzed the effects of various ways of giving autonomy to individuals. The results of this statistical analysis showed that individual autonomy was enhanced only when individuals could decide what they should accomplish in their work and how they should do their work. We revealed the importance of autonomy in motivating working professionals intrinsically, and how autonomy could be effectively given to individuals in a work situation. Also, we found that autonomy given to individuals had no direct effect on intrinsic motivation.","PeriodicalId":168329,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '08 - 2008 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"753 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123874609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to investigate the international transfer process of general packet radio service (GPRS) technologies, which supports the wireless access to external Internet protocol-based networks, and to propose a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approach to evaluate the alternative transferor companies. In order to achieve these purposes, firstly an in-depth interview was conducted with a purchasing manager of the third largest GSM operator in Turkey. Then, the major factors, which directly affect the success of a technology transfer (TT) project, are identified from the literature in order to determine the transferor selection criteria for a transferee company. The next step was to find out the relative importance of these criteria by asking the purchasing manager who was also a member of the GPRS project team. Finally, technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), which is a MCDM method, is applied to rank the alternative transferor companies.","PeriodicalId":168329,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '08 - 2008 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124334623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the diversity of needs and concerns in different countries, the evolution of TM discipline can be expected to follow different paths to include different national experiences and to consider unique national needs and concerns in relation with technology management. Therefore, to what extent this diversity is reflected in the mainstream TM research agenda is an important issue. Thus, the aim of this study is in two folds; first, to examine how the general research characteristics and agenda of TM discipline have evolved in the academic research in Turkey, and next, to what extent they have converged or diverged with the patterns of mainstream TM research in international journals, by analyzing the TM articles published by Turkish academics both in the national and international scientific journals. The findings of this research reveal that the TM discipline in Turkey indicate both divergent and convergent characteristics when compared with the results of recent studies about developed and developing countries. In addition, a significant difference is observed about how these characteristics are reflected in national and international journals.","PeriodicalId":168329,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '08 - 2008 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126524560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
